The contest between the villages of Hallaton and Medbourne takes place every Easter Monday.
Two neighbouring villages in Leicestershire have competed against each other in an annual Easter sporting tradition known as “bottle kicking”.
The “bottles” – old wooden field barrels holding about a gallon of beer – are sealed with wax before the annual contest. The event on Monday afternoon was preceded by a parade led by the Nene Valley Pipe Band and the ceremonial slicing up and distribution of a Hare pie.This year’s contest marks 50 years since its chairman Phil Allan joined the event’s organising committee in February 1974, aged 16.
“Funny how over the 50 years the world has changed so much yet you can be sure there is very little change of the vibe in the village of Hallaton and Medbourne on Easter Monday and how the game is played in the field.”
